* PyrrhicVictory: One of his goals with the Locacaca was to save his son without having to sacrifice his father. [[spoiler:He ''technically'' succeeds, but his schemes ended up getting his mother, himself, the family maid, and a family friend all killed and left his wife and brother permanently disfigured.]]

* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:Due to the effects of the Head Doctor's Stand, she cuts off two of her fingers while cooking dinner. She manages by placing two arrows on them to keep them attached.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the 2022 ''Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!'' interview, Araki says that Joseph's appearance at the end of Part 8 is a setup for Part 9, with the story being about his descendants.

* AnimeHair: ''Somehow'', the ends of her hair are triangle shaped. [[spoiler:Flashbacks in Chapter 64 revealed her hair was still like that when she was a kid.]]

* DumbBlonde: She ruins a family trip to Hawaii because she thought it was a part of Japan and didn't need to get her passport. Her excuse? Pearl Harbor has an actual Japanese name (''Shinjuwan'') instead of going by the native name with a transliterated Japanese pronunciation (which would be something like ''Pāru Hābā'' or ''Pāru-wan'') as is usual for foreign places. As the story wears on, it becomes apparent that she isn't book-smart, but she does have some street smarts. [[spoiler:Despite being in love with him, she is able to see that Damo is evil when he tries to kill her and her family. She also researched the sinister truth of her mother's disappearance 15 years ago behind her father's back.]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: When he's explaining how he runs operations at the Higashikata Fruit Parlor, he has a tendency to say, "How 'bout that?!"

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name 花都 is made to be read as ''Kaato'' (かあと) in ''[=JoJolion=]'', even though the name is normally read as ''Kato'' (かと). However, her wedding ring from Norisuke IV has "N to C" inscribed in it, suggesting her name is written in English as "Caato". Though, given how at one point Josefumi's name was spelt Josephmi, it's not exactly reliable.

* UnwittingPawn: He didn't realize that the Rock Humans were willing to harm his family to get the Locacaca Fruit. [[spoiler:In Chapter 72, he buries the model White House in the orchard, only to realize that Poor Tom lied about Ozon Baby's powers. Unlike most examples, he survives their attempt to dispose of him and come out of it with the [[JustForPun long end of the stick, or Locacaca Branch]].]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:The child she was imprisoned for killing was a bully--he not only forced Jobin to steal her underwear and take racy photos of her, but after a girl tattled on him to the authorities, he also threatened to burn off Jobin's face with oil as a threat if he didn't set fire to said girl's house.]]

* OverprotectiveDad: He becomes angry, swearing to kill Josuke, after witnessing what appears to be a romantic affair between his adoptive charge Josuke and his youngest daughter Daiya.

* PunnyName: Her Stand's name, "Space Trucking", alludes to its ability to store and carry (like a truck) objects inside its own dimensional space.

!!Joshu Higashikata (Stand: [[GunStripping Nut King Call]])

* CallBack: Daiya is one of the younger members of a group of Stand users, and suffered an eye injury when she was younger. She has an innocent and childish personality despite being in her late teens, which is represented by her Stand looking like a toy. That Stand is a potentially dangerous one and she's not afraid to use it. She shares all of those traits with Narancia Ghirga from ''Golden Wind''.

** Like the [[LightNovel/JorgeJoestar novel]] version of his father, he has a bilingual name spelled in the language of where he was raised (Spanish for George II/Jorge, Japanese for Joseph).

* ArtEvolution: Jobin looked very different in his debut, although he is barely shown in the background. Also, Speed King itself undergoes quite a few design changes, eventually gaining spikes on its cap and goggles in later appearances.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Aya Tsuji, since both have a storyline connected with beauty and aesthetic (Aya is a beautician, Mitsuba seeks to have a "perfect body" while unwittingly being a test subject for the Locacaca) and they both have a... ''fascination'' with boobs, with Aya groping Yukako's breasts and smiling after being slapped by the latter, and Mitsuba trying to do so to Yasuho.

* AscendedExtra: Mitsuba's first appearance was in Chapter 7, originally published in December 2011, and she had no dialogue and had no relevance in the story at all other than being "Jobin's wife and Tsurugi's mother". '''Seventy chapters and over six-and-a-half years later''' with Chapter 77 released in July 2018, Mitsuba has a completely different appearance and has dialogue across several panels and pages. After being saved from [[MemeticMutation Araki forgetting she even existed]], she finally has some relevance to the plot where it is revealed that she is the unwitting guinea pig of the Rock Human Wu Tomoki with the Locacaca while acting as her personal doctor.
